Gênesis 39
1 E levado José ao Egito, comprou-o Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão dos da guarda, homem egípcio, da mão dos ismaelitas que o haviam levado ali.
Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.
2 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e foi homem próspero: e estava na casa de seu senhor o egípcio.
The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 E viu seu senhor que o SENHOR era com ele, e que tudo o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar em sua mão.
His master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand.
4 Assim achou José favor em seus olhos, e servia-lhe; e ele lhe fez mordomo de sua casa, e entregou em seu poder tudo o que tinha.
Joseph found favour in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 E aconteceu que, desde quando lhe deu o encargo de sua casa, e de tudo o que tinha, o SENHOR abençoou a casa do egípcio por causa de José; e a bênção do SENHOR foi sobre tudo o que tinha, tanto em casa como no campo.
From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.
6 E deixou tudo o que tinha em mão de José; nem com ele sabia de nada mais que do pão que comia. E era José de belo semblante e bela presença.
He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.
7 E aconteceu depois disto, que a mulher de seu senhor pôs seus olhos em José, e disse: Dorme comigo.
After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said, “Lie with me.”
8 E ele não quis, e disse à mulher de seu senhor: Eis que meu senhor não sabe comigo o que há em casa, e pôs em minha mão tudo o que tem:
But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.
9 Não há outro maior que eu nesta casa, e nenhuma coisa me há reservado a não ser a ti, porquanto tu és sua mulher; como, pois, faria eu este grande mal e pecaria contra Deus?
No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10 E foi que falando ela a José cada dia, e não escutando-a ele para deitar-se ao lado dela, para estar com ela.
As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 Aconteceu que entrou ele um dia em casa para fazer seu ofício, e não havia ninguém dos da casa ali em casa.
About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.
12 E pegou-o ela por sua roupa, dizendo: Dorme comigo. Então ele deixou sua roupa nas mãos dela, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.
13 E aconteceu que quando viu ela que lhe havia deixado sua roupa em suas mãos, e havia fugido fora,
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,
14 Chamou aos de casa, e falou-lhes dizendo: Olhai que ele nos trouxe um hebreu, para que fizesse zombaria de nós: veio ele a mim para dormir comigo, e eu dei grandes vozes;
she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.
15 E vendo que eu erguia a voz e gritava, deixou junto a mim sua roupa, e fugiu, e saiu-se fora.
When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
16 E ela pôs junto a si a roupa dele, até que veio seu senhor à sua casa.
She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
17 Então lhe falou ela semelhantes palavras, dizendo: O servo hebreu que nos trouxeste, veio a mim para desonrar-me;
She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,
18 E quando eu levantei minha voz e gritei, ele deixou sua roupa junto a mim, e fugiu fora.
and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”
19 E sucedeu que quando ouviu seu senhor as palavras que sua mulher lhe falara, dizendo: Assim me tratou teu servo; acendeu-se seu furor.
When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.
20 E tomou seu senhor a José, e pôs-lhe na casa do cárcere, onde estavam os presos do rei, e esteve ali na casa do cárcere.
Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.
21 Mas o SENHOR foi com José, e estendeu a ele sua misericórdia, e deu-lhe favor aos olhos do chefe da casa do cárcere.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 E o chefe da casa do cárcere entregou em mão de José todos os presos que havia naquela prisão; tudo o que faziam ali, ele o fazia.
The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.
23 Não via o chefe do cárcere coisa alguma que em sua mão estava; porque o SENHOR era com ele, e o que ele fazia, o SENHOR o fazia prosperar.
The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
